A/HRC/19/64 conferencing, can allow child victims to take an active part in the proceedings while not being put in direct contact with the accused persons. Child victims should receive adequate support leading to their recovery and compensation for the harm inflicted on them. Actions: In the context of its civil and criminal justice policies, and in line with its Strategy on the effective implementation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Commission will contribute to making the justice systems in the EU more child-friendly, notably by: 1. Adopting, in 2011, a proposal for a Directive on victims‘ rights raising the level of protection of vulnerable victims, including children; 2. Tabling, in 2012, a proposal for a Directive on special safeguards for suspected or accused persons who are vulnerable, including children; 3. Revising, by 2013, the EU legislation facilitating the recognition and enforcement of decisions on parental responsibility with a view to ensuring, in the interest of the child, that decisions can be recognised and enforced as quickly as possible, including, where appropriate, the establishment of common minimum standards; 4. Promoting the use of the Council of Europe Guidelines of 17 November 2010 on child-friendly justicev and taking them into account in future legal instruments in the field of civil and criminal justice; 5. Supporting and encouraging the development of training activities for judges and other professionals at European level regarding the optimal participation of children in judicial systems. 2.2. Targeting EU action to protect children when they are vulnerable Some categories of children are particularly vulnerable and face greater risks to their lives and well-being due to social, political and economic factors. For example, children growing up in poverty and social exclusionw, often accompanied with drug abuse, are less likely to do well in school and enjoy good physical and mental health x. They are also more likely to find themselves in conflict with the justice system. The needs of children at risk of poverty and social exclusion will be addressed in a Commission Recommendation on child poverty, which will outline common principles and propose effective monitoring tools to prevent and combat child poverty within the framework of the Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion. Disabled children are also more vulnerable to the violation of their rights and they require and deserve special protectiony. v w x y 22 Guidelines of the Council of Europe on Child Friendly Justice - Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 17 November 2010, available at https://wcd.coe.int/wcd/ViewDoc.jsp?id=1705197&Site=CM See the report by the Commission's DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities on Child poverty and well-being in the EU: Current status and way forward, 28 February 2008, available at: http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=751&langId=en&pubId=74&type=2&furtherPubs=yes Commission Communication on Solidarity in Health: Reducing health inequalities in the EU, COM (2009) 567 final, available at: http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_determinants/socio_economics/documents/com2009_en.pdf.
